⭐Changes inspired by our community!

Quick small fixes note and a message:On the last update, we changed the way the DLC Characters are appearing in the hub.

  • If you own the DLC, it should appear after the Poetic Peddler is unlocked.

  • If you don't own it, it should appear after you unlock the Telescope.

This was bugged since last Thursday and DLC Characters would only appear after the Telescope was unlocked.

This is fixed now.

We're really sorry for this issue as it might have delayed by a lot the time required to be able to play Arven for some players.
